Cinelli Vigorelli

I think it's time for new post. And when its time I need to do it quickly otherwise the muse will disappear.
Last year was a full of new bikes, only few of them got a chance to be posted here, but this one is a bit exceptional.
Real Cinelli Vigorelli is not something you meet on the street of Israel every day, and I think we (me and the owner) did a nice join outlining the uniqueness.
It's quick, slick and good looking bike as expected from Cinelli. Adding new pair of wheels, Miche crankset, track handlebar and the result is below.

And no brakes this time, Alex)

Giant lugged frame

Didn't have a time to write and update the blog recently which doesn't mean that I’m not doing anything. It’s just that I have too much real work than virtual and the other reason is that no good pictures were made.
So, below is one of the good reasons why we all love bicycles and think it’s a very sexy transportation to use. Nothing can make you more happier than seeing a gorgeous girl riding a beautiful bike. Especially y if it’s a renovated Giant lugged frame and classic leather accessories.

One thing in particular interesting here is that I have used a burner to release stocked seat post.

Mid 80's Andre Bertin with Shimano 600 gruppo

Recently I have no time to post my new bikes as I make them faster than I can photo them. Therefore I ask my friends to document the progress and send me their pictures.
Same happened for this bike. The man is riding it several months already and just now I‘ve got the time to post the pictures of the result. This is a true beauty of the cycling world mid 80’s Andre Bertin frame originally fully equipped with Shimano 600 gruppo. We have repainted the frame to very nice deep blue coating and completed it with classic brown leather saddle, handlebar tape and straps.
Check the result.

Colnago LUX frame

Well, how shall I put it gently:”Fucking Colnago!”
So i got the complete bike, and then upgrade it. Making full black wheels, nice touch of brooks leather, fixed gear and black parts.
Now you can see the frame and the colors. Now this bike fly and no one can stop it. Now it looks classic and has style. Now it fixed gear.

Skywalker

Ok, so it was long time ago, really like three or four months ago. Ages, for me. I wasn’t a father back then) Anyway, I met my old pal on the street a well known designer Luka, and the first thing he said, was “Hey I need you! I’m building a fixie and I need your help. Did all the painting now just assemble and parts, so help is needed”.
No problem, especially when you see extremely nice paint work with “Skywalker” logo on it.
Did some work, change some parts, and a new fixie was born.

Apparently Luka Or has also started some side project of his own. fixie cards - a jewelry for bike. Check this out!

Fuji Track

Guys are getting updated. I mean they start with something old and refurbished, but after a while they understand that bicycle is more than just a fun ride. Its quick and reliable transportation, physical exercise and great source of positive mood. And thus one shall make it as comfortable as he can.
Take for example Eitan. He was riding MBK for almost a year. Now he decided to move on and bought Fuji track. Few add-ons, colors, and upgrades and he has an ultimate ride with personal touch.

Leader 725 black

First Leader frame in Israel. Yes it is. Sasha came to me in November 2010, gave me money and said I want singlespeed, light fast bike and here is the money for it. Within 3 months he saw me presenting some concept fixed bikes to another guy and said:”Fuck Single Speed, I’m going fixie.” We were working very hard to choose a frame for him as he specifically wanted no logos, no brands, nothing on it. Leader frame 725 was the best choice afterwards. Best for look, best for price, best for geometry. I’ve built the wheels specially for him, no brands, deep black rims, added all the black pieces together and found a very cool carbon fork. On top it, add a track handlebar, brooks saddle, cool black crank and the result is below. So the bike has no weight, no logos and all over a black motherfucker.

Did I mention that Sasha Flit is a professional photographer)?
